hombres4,

Welcome to the board my friend. Not sure about all of their vacation pay being handed over as some member's especially skilled trade worker's get a good chunk for vacation and almost positive that is not being passed over.

As far as money and how much get's passed on not sure but guy's especially around holiday's buy thing for the executive all the time whether it is booze, food, ticket's etc. My old man always receives great stuff like great seats to sporting events but cash I never seen any of that not to say he never got any.

In my case I can say 100% no one has ever given me a great chunk of cash but I get lot's of the other stuff.
